Sergeant McKibben was leading his point element along a well-traveled trail when it came under fire from a fortified bunker. Sergeant McKibben charged through bamboo and heavy brush, killed the gunner, secured the weapon and directed his patrol forward. As they moved out he saw movement to the flank which was promptly neutralized by air support. The patrol continued its mission and as the lead element rounded the bend of a river it came under heavy fire from camouflaged bunkers. He observed one of his men fall wounded and with complete disregard for his safety, sprang to his comrade's side and pulled him to safety behind a rock emplacement. Seeing that his patrol was now pinned down, he charged through the brush and hail of automatic weapons fire, killing the enemy and taking his weapon. He continued his assault against another bunker when his rifle ran out of ammunition; however, he used the captured enemy weapon until it too was empty and then silenced the position with grenades. He covered the advance of his men, observing the fire of another bunker. Single-handedly assaulted this position but was mortally wounded. Still, he fired a final burst, killing the enemy and enabling the patrol to continue the assault. |

Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature
Author | Richard Rorty |
Country | United States |
Language | English |
Genre | Philosophy of mind |
Published | 1979 (Princeton University Press) |
Media type | Print (Hardback & Paperback) |
Pages | 401 |
Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (published in 1979) is a book by American philosopher Richard Rorty. It attempts to dissolve modern philosophical problems instead of solving them by presenting them as pseudo-problems that only exist in the language-game of epistemological projects culminating in Analytic philosophy. In a pragmatist gesture, Rorty suggests that philosophy must get past these pseudo-problems if it is to be productive.
The work was seen to be somewhat controversial upon its publication. It had the greatest success among students of analytic philosophy, who caused it to sell out within the first days of its publication; the students enjoyed it for being an alternative to the current analytic philosophy dogmas, in a period in which the analytic departments were tightening up on the dogmas even more.[1]
Rorty's central thesis is that philosophy has unduly relied on a representational theory of perception and a correspondence theory of truth, hoping our experience or language might mirror the way reality actually is. In this he continues a certain controversial Anglophone tradition, which builds upon the work of philosophers such as Willard Van Orman Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, and Donald Davidson. Rorty opts out of the traditional objective/subjective dialogue in favor of a communal version of truth. For him, "true" is simply an honorific knowers bestow on claims, asserting them as what "we" want to say about a particular matter.
Rorty spends much of the book explaining how philosophical paradigm shifts and their associated philosophical "problems" can be considered the result of the new metaphors, vocabularies, and mistaken linguistic associations which are necessarily a part of those new paradigms.

Midtown East
Restaurants in Midtown East
BLT Steak is celebrity chef Laurent Tourondel's eponymous Midtown East venue (the name stands for Bistro Laurent Touronde). With its ebonized tables, zinc bar, and neutral suede banquettes, it's Tourondel's reinvention of the steakhouse as a chic dining destination.
Aureole is an upscale New York Theater District restaurant in the Bank of America Tower. It's the flagship for restaurant entrepreneur Charlie Palmer, who supports the farm-to-table food movement and specializes in Progressive American cuisine.
Celebrity chef David Burke's original restaurant on the Upper East Side has undergone renovation and now reflects the playfulness of the menu.
Situated in the lobby of the Alex Hotel in Midtown, Riingo is a fusion of Asian and American cuisine and decor. Red walls, like Japanese lacquer, give accent to the white floors and ebony wood tables and chairs.
Inside a new location just west of Rockefeller Center, Oceana continues to deliver the fresh, creative seafood that has earned it a Michelin Star for four years in a row. The day's fresh catches are set atop crushed ice at the marble raw bar, which serves as the centerpiece for the restaurant.
Located in the New York Palace Hotel in a space formerly occupied by Le Cirque, Gilt seeks to reflect the early 20th century opulence of its setting, which once was the home of the wealthy railroad tycoon and investor Henry Villardi.
The Silverleaf Tavern in Murray Hill puts a new twist on the traditional neighborhood pub. The luxurious interior is accented with leather and exposed brick; high-back mahogany banquettes provide an intimate space for conversation.
Savor the "cuisine of the sun" at Murray Hill's Artisanal Fromagerie and Bistro, where the Art Deco dining room recalls the calm, confident style of Paris circa 1930, from the antique, mural-sized painting on the back wall to the Parisian-style cheese cave.
The namesake of acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, this New French restaurant is often lauded as one of the best in the nation. Situated in the Upper East Side, Daniel was renovated in 2008 by celebrated designer Adam D.
One of the city's few remaining traditional French restaurants, La Grenouille is still a top choice for special occasion dining, more than half a century since its opening in 1962.
Keep a careful eye out for the entrance to this sushi haven in Midtown. With just a small sign and a door, chef Toshihiro Uezo's restaurant is unassuming in nearly every way, with none of the bling of his trendier neighbors, just a classic red and black lacquered bar and a few Japanese accents.
Donatella Arpaia and Michael Psilakis of New York's perennially packed Kefi restaurant are behind this informal Italian kitchen. Not to be missed—Psilakis's signature gnudi with crispy prosciutto and truffle butter.

Karlovy Vary lies in West Bohemia at the confluence of the Teplá River and the Ohre River, about 120 km west of Prague. It is the largest and best known spa city in the Czech Republic.
The city was founded in the 14th century by Charles IV. According to a legend, the Emperor had the city built soon after the accidental discovery of thermal springs by his hunting entourage. The spa facilities enjoyed the favor of many aristocratic houses and rich burghers as early as the 16th century. Owing to a series of natural disasters from that period only a few buildings have been preserved. Most architectonic monuments originated in the 18th and the 19th century when the city lived the "period of plenitude". The balneotherapy provided in Karlovy Vary comprises a number of curative procedures. Treatment exploits centuries-proven thermal baths and drinking cure as well as modern methods cryotherapy, floating, laser therapy, etc. Both traditional spa treatment and i wellness takes place in sanatoriums and hotels.
All year round Karlovy Vary hosts innumerable cultural and sports events. Many of them found favor with the Karlovy Vary public and with tourists. One of the most popular social events is the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival that attracts cinematography fans from all over the world every year. But Karlovy Vary is not only a place of film projection. Its unique scenery and architecture makes the city a film shooting location. Recently, the filmmakers shot James Bond: Casino Royal here. The development of balneotherapy and of tourism in Karlovy Vary progressed hand in hand with the bloom of sports. At the end of the 19th century a horse race track was bulit, in 1904, the first golf course in the Czech Republic was opened at the outskirts of the city to be followed, one year later, with a tenis komplex with 6 courts. The international fame of the spa city was contributed to by its balneological heritage, the international film festival and some of Karlovy Vary's typical products. Many people automatically associate the words Becherovka, Moser or Thun with Karlovy Vary. Of no less popularity and renown are traditional spa wafers.

The subway plan proposed Wednesday offers Torontonians much less service for the same money, or, potentially, equal service for much more money. This is madness, but an entirely predictable sort of madness.
The "unsinkable" Titanic was carrying more than 2,200 souls when she struck an iceberg in 1912, resulting in a loss of about 1,500 people. A hundred years later and transportation has grown so much that ships can carry 6,000 people, bullet trains carry thousands, and the world's biggest passenger plane can now accommodate more than 800. Add in the now massive venues for cultural events, and the tendency of large crowds of people sometimes stampeding and the potential for accidents is huge. From sinkings, to crashes, to derailments, to stampedes, the National Post has charted the last 100 years of major accidents and incidents (excluding wartime battles). In order to make the timeline, a minimum of 100 people had to die — therefore no automobile accidents.
Wednesday's vote makes the subway plan contingent on obtaining new federal funding equal to 50% of the project's net capital costs
The issue became a turning point in the ongoing subway debate, when Mayor Rob Ford initially suggested the funding could be reallocated Scarborough
he event, scheduled for May 21, aims to tackle region-wide issues like infrastructure, employment and traffic congestion
The message to Premier Kathleen Wynne, Ford said, is stop talking about revenue tools. 'This is one of the greatest days in Toronto's history'
At the same time, Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray threw cold water on a bid by Scarborough councillors to make the RT a subway
"We lost by one vote, a couple of our members decided to take a little walk for one reason or another, but we do not support taxes," Doug Ford said
The Liberal government, which plans to add new HOV toll lanes to sections of Highways 401, 404, 410 and 427, said it would "consult with its partners" and bring forward a more specific toll-lane plan by year-end

Three-dimensional control of optical waveguide fabrication in silicon
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 2, pp. 573-578 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2141 KB)
In this paper, we report a direct-write technique for three-dimensional control of waveguide fabrication in silicon. Here, a focused beam of 250 keV protons is used to selectively slow down the rate of porous silicon formation during subsequent anodization, producing a silicon core surrounded by porous silicon cladding. The etch rate is found to depend on the irradiated dose, increasing the size of the core from 2.5 µm to 3.5 µm in width, and from 1.5 µm to 2.6 µm in height by increasing the dose by an order of magnitude. This ability to accurately control the waveguide profile with the ion dose at high spatial resolution provides a means of producing three-dimensional silicon waveguide tapers. Propagation losses of 6.7 dB/cm for TE and 6.8 dB/cm for TM polarization were measured in linear waveguides at the wavelength of 1550 nm.

dc.description.abstract | EDM is widely accepted in tool and die industries for its versatility in machining hardened steels. Its ability to machine heat treated hardened steels eliminates the conventional method of heat treatment after machining which results in distortions. However one draw back of the EDM process, which makes its uses limited, is the high cost and time for the electrode manufacture. The die sinking EDM process employs complex shaped electrodes which require specialized machining operation and often results in high lead times. Solid free form fabrication is found to be an excellent alternative for the conventional all metal electrodes for EDM. Rapid prototyping of the electrode models and electroforming with copper is a fervently studied method of producing cost effective electrodes. However most of the studies have reported premature failure of the electroformed electrodes, limiting its commercial use on a large scale. This study attempts to analyze the failure mechanism of electroformed stereo-lithography electrodes by conducting a finite element analysis of the electrode model using LSDYNA- 970. It has been shown that high temperatures and coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch are the primary reasons for the premature failures experienced in these types of electrodes. The study also proposes some design modifications to improve the electrode performance during repeated thermal loading. The modified electrodes showed significantly improved performance in analysis studies. | en |

Tropical (Idempotent) Algebras as a Way to Optimize Fuzzy Control
Jaime Nava, University of Texas at El PasoFollow
Technical Report: UTEP-CS-11-33
To appear in International Journal of Innovative Management, Information & Production (IJIMIP), 2011, Vol. 2, No. 3.
Fuzzy control is a methodology that transforms control rules (described by an expert in words of a natural language) into a precise control strategy. There exist several versions of this transformation. The main difference between these versions is in how they interpret logical connectives "and" and "or", i.e., in other words, what reasoning method a version uses. Which of these versions should we choose? It turns out that on different stages of control, different reasoning methods lead to better control results. In this paper, we describe the choice of reasoning methods that optimize control results in terms of smoothness and stability. It turns out that reasoning methods which are optimal on each stage correspond to tropical algebras -- algebras isomorphic to the set of real numbers with operations plus and maximum.

This paper describes the development of a software framework for predicting vegetation change within
the Astroni crater, a state nature reserve near Naples, Italy. ASTROMOD (ASTROni MODel), is designed to
allow the analysis of environmental and management scenarios in the crater, thus aiding the reserve's manager in effective decision making. ASTROMOD comprises a vegetation dynamics model developed for forest ecosystems, combined with models of environmental determinants. It integrates a user-friendly interface for visualising spatial data, a parameter database and a series of programming modules within Microsoft Excel. This approach is a significant departure from other spatial biophysical modelling approaches which require costly and complex software tools.

Re: Building first time
I am interested in working on mapreduce package, so not sure if I need
to compile the whole tree. I work on branch-0.23. It can be just imported into SpringToolsSuite, then click on Run -> Maven -> type in 'compile' target. It compiles module it just fails on Avro stuff. But it is good enough that you can edit it in Eclipse with some comfort. Then just commit to git and let Jenkins on Unix to build it for you. |

Big Read a big deal for KC
Kansas City will join more than 100 cities this fall in the Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts that encourages Americans to read and discuss a single book within their communities.
Kansas City's Big Read will be of A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway's World War I novel about a young American who offers his services as an ambulance driver on the Italian front and falls in love with a beautiful nurse.
The Kansas City Public Library, Park University and the National World War I Museum at the Liberty Memorial won an NEA grant approval to host the Big Read from mid-October to mid-November in Kansas City.
More than 500 copies of the book will be given away to participants, with lectures, exhibits, film screenings and book discussions among the events. A complete schedule is to be released later this month.
Henry Fortunato, director of public affairs for the Kansas City Public Library, was delighted that A Farewell to Arms was on the list of Big Read book choices.
"There are ideal connections between this book and Kansas City," Fortunato said. "After Hemingway was a reporter for The Kansas City Star, he went to the Italian front to be an ambulance driver. And it was from those experiences that he wrote A Farewell to Arms.
"And a portion of the book was written in Kansas City. In fact, in A Farewell to Arms there is a Caesarean birth. Well, he wrote that while his child was being born in Kansas City and the wife was having a Caesarean."
Beyond local ties, Fortunato said that A Farewell to Arms is a great work of American literature that continues to enthrall readers nearly 80 years after its original publication.
"It's a story of love and war," Fortunato said. "And we have people who are in love and war right now. I think it should resonate."
Join the Discussion
The Kansas City Star is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Wan Chai Market
The former Wan Chai Market (Chinese: 灣仔街市) building was constructed in 1937. It is located at 264 Queen's Road East, at Wan Chai Road crossing, opposite Stone Nullah Lane in Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island.[1] It is a Grade III Historic Building.[2]
Its architectural style is influenced by Streamline Moderne (also known as Streamlined Moderne or Art Moderne) architecture, a popular style of building of the 1930s. It is often erroneously referred to as a Bauhaus-style building.[3][4]
Wan Chai Market, the wet market housed in the old market building since 1937, has moved into the new market complex on the lower levels of "The Zenith", a newly built residential development located just opposite to the market building, in September 2008. The Wan Chai Market was initially a wet place where merchants would sell their belongings. It was also used as a garage for Bullock Carts and thus was called 濕車庫, which means 'Wet Garage'. It was named in 1917.
During Japanese occupation, the basement of the Wan Chai Market was occupied by the Japanese troop for the storage of corpses.[2]
In 1961, the Market underwent a renovation to improve its facilities and environment so that the Market could compete with other market places in the district.[2]
The Land Development Corporation obtained approval from the Executive Council to acquire land in Wan Chai, including this site, for redevelopment as part of an urban renewal project. A consortium was formed comprising Chinese Estates (40%), Kwong Sang Hong (25%), Chi Cheung Investment (20%) and Peregrine Group (15%).[5]
Chinese Estates, controlled by Joseph Lau Luen-hung, agreed with the Urban Renewal Authority in 1996 to jointly redevelop the site into a luxury residential-commercial complex. Phase two of the project, which requires the demolition of the building, was scheduled to start early 2008 and completion by mid-2011.[6]
In 2007, the Urban Renewal Authority and the Development Bureau jointly announced that the facade and the front part of the historic market building will be preserved in the redevelopment project; the front part will be used as a shopping centre. A residential building will stand at the back of the market building.[7]
There is a basement and staff quarters in the building.[3]
In popular culture[edit]
In the successful video game by Eidos, Deus Ex, Wan Chai Market is used as the basis for a portion of the game.

Riot breaks out in VancouverBy DHARM MAKWANA, QMI Agency |
A smashed and red paint soaked display window is seen at the downtown Vancouver Hudson's Bay Co., store. It is reported that protesters did the damage and then left the area. Police are investigating and looking for the people responsible for this damage on Saturday, Feb 13, 2010. (ANDRE FORGET/QMI Agency) |
An anti-Olympic march through downtown Vancouver turned violent when protesters started demolishing the HBC window display on Georgia Street.
Protesters also smashed other windows at surrounding businesses with newspaper boxes and hammers.
Red paint was seen on the windows and some nearby vehicles.
Vancouver police who had followed the march called for the crowd control unit who arrested dozens in a group of about 200 protesters when the situation escalated, witnesses say.
Pedestrians ran for cover and crying children nearby could be heard crying.
The remaining 150-or-so protesters were allowed to continue marching along West Georgia Street to the city's West End.
Vancouver police held a line at Robson and Jervis Streets where protesters stopped and celebrated their demonstration with music and dance.
Behind the apparently benign group of 30 dancing protesters, about two dozen people wearing balaclavas huddled and passed joints.
One among the group set fire to a Canadian flag and called for an end to the Olympics on unceded native land.
After a tense 20 minutes, police wearing face shields and carrying batons moved forward towards the crowd.
Some escaped through side alleys but the majority were divided into two groups on the 1300 block of Robson Street.
Officers wearing riot gear surrounded one group while the other was kept behind a line of bicycle police.
Those surrounded by police on all sides threw up peace signs with their hands and chanted defiantly, "The people united will never be defeated."
The group was divided and pushed to the north sidewalk and then west on Robson Street where they eventually dispersed.
Though police have yet to issue an official statement this reporter witnessed two men in their 20s being ushered into police cars.
The protesters are believed to have regrouped and were heading to Stanley Park as of 11 a.m.

Injury Update
I have another injury update for you today, according to Corey Brock, Rymer Liriano's elbow "healed overnight". He will be optioned to the minors but will not have Tommy John surgery. This may be the best news of the offseason. I wonder if this was a ploy to get positive news out into the atmosphere. We got the bad news, and then it was taken away. If I am the Padres, I make sure Liriano takes it extra slow.

"I welcome President Obama's nomination of Bob McDonald to serve as secretary of Veterans Affairs. Bob has been one of America's premier corporate leaders and is a fellow Army veteran and a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy. If confirmed by Congress, he will be well-equipped to lead the VA. I also want to thank Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson for his continued leadership and hard work on behalf of America's veterans and his close partnership with the Department of Defense. Taking care of our veterans is as high a priority as this country has, and I look forward to working closely with Bob and Sloan to further strengthen and improve DoD-VA collaboration and the lives of our veterans."

Howard didn't have to look far for the subject of his cinematic experiment; he chose his hometown for the offbeat yet ultimately warming Letter from Waco. Howard wrote, directed, produced and narrated the movie, which combines historical footage, contemporary interviews and Howard's unique sensibilities to tell the city's story.
"Even growing up, I thought it was an interesting place. And a lot of people see their own hometowns in the film. But there's a lot of tall tales in Texas history, and I wanted to [address] that, as well," Howard says. He boils down the Waco story to race, religion, death and football. Well, that and the Branch Davidians. Howard began collecting footage shortly after a longhaired, gun-toting Wacon named Vernon Howell (a.k.a. David Koresh) focused the world's attention on the Southern town.
"It was thought that the town was full of crazy people after that, but a lot of [locals] didn't even know those people were out there. Once they understood I wasn't out to make anyone look bad, they opened up," Howard says. One who opened up a little too much was Jim Phipps, an elderly, suspenders-wearing former Baylor football star. Oblivious to the camera, Phipps punctuates his own take on the town's history with expletives that are beeped out of the soundtrack but clocked with an on-screen "odometer." Letter from Waco also touches on everything from gunfights to debutante balls. Newsreel footage explores the 1953 tornado that destroyed the once-thriving city's downtown district.
In Waco, Howard reflects that the city is like "the Old South slamming up against the wild, wild west." Over a montage of equally ubiquitous churches and bars, the narrator adds that "Saturday night and Sunday morning is the yin and yang for lots of Americans -- and certainly Texans. But it's extra-vivid around here."
-- Bob Ruggiero

This is a phrase used frequently amongst rural and pseudorural folk in Ireland. It's usual function is to inquire about a person's well being or the state of that person's affairs in the same vein as "Howya?" and on occasion "Howya Horse?".
Details on the origins of the phrase are somewhat sketchy, but one would presume that it refers to bygone days when farmers would pass each other by during the annual harvest. The would nod solemnly at each other, observe their cutting equipment and demand to know how well their devices were slicing up the surrounding fields of produce.
If "she" was cutting well then the farmer would be happy, safe in the knowledge that his kids would not be surviving solely on potatoes for the year, but potatoes and wheat.
If "she" was cutting badly, well, it doesn't bear thinking about....
An acceptable modern response to "How's she cutting?" would be:
"Straight down the middle like a razor blade."

Charenton was a lunatic asylum, founded in 1645 by the Frères de la Charité in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, now Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne, France.
Charenton was known for its humanitarian treatment of patients, especially under its director the Abbé de Coulmier in the early 19th century.
Famous prisoners were held in the Charenton asylum including Latude, the Comte de Sanois and Marquis de Sade (from 1801 until his death in 1814 at the age of 74).
The noted Belgian-born musicologist and composer Jérôme-Joseph de Momigny also died at the Charenton asylum, in 1842. The caricaturist André Gill died there in 1885. The mathematician André Bloch spent the last three decades of his life there, and mathematician Joseph-Émile Barbier also stayed there before being found and brought back into academia by Bertrand.[1]
Today, the psychiatric hospital is known as the Esquirol Hospital (l'Hôpital Esquirol), after Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol who directed the institution in the 19th century. The architect of the 1845 structure was Émile Gilbert.

Successful Root Coverage: A Human Histologic Evaluation of a Case
Randall J. Harris, DDS
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0339
Connective tissue grafts combined with pedicle grafts (subepithelial grafts) have been shown to be effective in obtaining root coverage. Unfortunately, little is known about the histology of the results in humans. This is a case report of a tooth with a recession defect that was treated with a subepithelial graft. Complete root coverage was obtained. However, at 5 months postoperative the tooth had to be extracted because of a vertical root fracture. With the patient's permission, a small collar of tissue was removed with the tooth. The sample was processed and evaluated histologically. The results revealed areas of regeneration, with new bone, cementum, and connective tissue attachment coronal to the original gingival margin. No bone grafts or guided tissue regeneration membranes were used. This case report confirms that regeneration is possible with subepithelial grafts.

A European version of GPS will go ahead now ...
Galileo Gets the Green Light
A European version of GPS will go ahead now that bureaucratic budget squabbles are over. The Galileo navigation system is scheduled to go live in 2013. The European Union agreed Friday to complete the development of a satellite navigation system to rival the American GPS network, beating an end-of-the-year deadline for approving the project. |
that really is a good development; it never set well with me that my chartplotter and gps are dependent on the military situation of the u.s.
select availability just isn't good enough when you sail in this area. of course that means buying all new equipment. |
select availability
I thought Clinton stopped select availability in 2000.
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=1676 |
wasn't select availability briefly turned on during the iraq war in 2003? different presidente, different ideology.
I don't think GWB even knows what GPS is, much less how to ask the boys to turn on Selective Availability... :D |
Further good news for us is:-
There's a US/EU agreement in place that Galileo and GPS III (3rd Generation) will share a common scheme for their L1 and L5 signals. So in about 2015, we will have an extraordinary improvement in performance. The bad news is:- We will have to buy new receivers to take advantage (but the old ones will still work). To complicate things:- Russian GLONASS and Chinese COMPASS are likely to be working too. We'll be spoilt for choice. |
What a waste of time and money.
(takes out sextant, lightly wipes down Vernier scale).
What? Did you guys say something? |

Jiang Lei - - 2008
The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene. It encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein p53 involved in the regulation of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis to maintain the genomic integrity of the cell. As mutations of p53 gene are found in most human cancers, p53 protein becomes a hot target in ...
Xue, Chengyuan
The development of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs is the main obstacle to the successful treatment of many cancers, including childhood neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumour of infants. One factor that may play a role in determining response of neuroblastoma tumours to therapeutic agents is the p53 tumour suppressor gene. A number of ...

Barrett's esophagus, a metaplasia predisposed to malignant transformation, has been studied in vitro using esophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines. However, findings in such transformed cells may not be applicable to the non-neoplastic cells of benign Barrett's esophagus. Therefore, we have developed and characterized a Barrett's cell line derived from a patient ...
Feagins Linda A - - 2007
OBJECTIVES: For patients with Barrett's esophagus, physicians commonly prescribe antisecretory medications in dosages above those required to heal reflux esophagitis because acid has been shown to have proproliferative and antiapoptotic effects on Barrett's cancer cells and on Barrett's mucosal explants. For a number of reasons, these model systems may not ...

Duocarmycin A (Duo), which is one of well-known antitumor antibiotics, efficiently alkylates adenine N3 at the 3' end of AT-rich sequences in the DNA. The addition of a minor groove binder, distamycin A (Dist), not only accerelates the reactivity of Duo with oligonucleotide duplex but also switches the DNA-alkylation site ...
Farah Ibrahim O - - 2007
In response to genotoxic agents, normal tissue cells are instructed by p53 either to perform DNA repair or to undergo apoptosis. Studies showed that chemo and/or radiotherapy damage both normal and cancerous cells indiscriminately. To this end, severe side effects inflicted by p53 activation in normal tissues, would possibly be ...
Geranmayeh Fatemeh - - 2007
OBJECTIVE: Although gemistocytic astrocytomas are graded as World Health Organization II astrocytomas, they behave more aggressively than other astrocytomas. Their proliferative potential is low, and it remains an intriguing question why these tumors are so biologically "successful." They show a high mutation rate of the P53 gene, cytological abnormalities, and ...
Brown Lauren - - 2007
In response to various forms of cellular stress, including DNA damage, ribonucleotide depletion, and abnormal proliferative signals, p53 becomes activated as a transcription factor, targeted genes that induce cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Eliminating damaged, stressed, or abnormally proliferating cells from the replicating cell population prevents the propagation of potentially cancer-prone ...

Samsung and Apple's relationship, if defined on Facebook, would be somewhat of an "open relationship". Both of them sleep around, but at the end of the day, rely on each other as much as any other strong relationship.
But now, Samsung is beginning to feel the pain as sources of DigiTimes have said that the South Korean company have had to delay construction on a new logic fabrication facility "due to the possibility of losing a portion of orders for Apple's next-generation application chips".
Samsung is having to turn away from Apple as a strong customer, to hopefully ship more LCD panels to its own electronics division, and to competitor Amazon.
